Overview
A Requirement is a set of one or more version restrictions. It supports a few (=, !=, >, <, >=, <=, ~>) different restriction operators.
See Version for a description on how versions and requirements work together in RubyGems.
Constant Summary
- 
    DefaultRequirement =
    # File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 37The default requirement matches any version [">=", Gem::Version.new(0)] 
- 
    PATTERN =
    # File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 32A regular expression that matches a requirement /\A#{PATTERN_RAW}\z/
Class Method Summary
- 
    
      .create(input)  
    
    Factory method to create a Requirementobject.
- 
    
      .default  
    
    A default “version requirement” can surely only be '>= 0'. 
- 
    
      .new(*requirements)  ⇒ Requirement 
    
    constructor
    Constructs a requirement from #requirements. 
- 
    
      .parse(obj)  
    
    Parse obj, returning an[op, version]pair.
Instance Attribute Summary
- 
    
      #exact?  ⇒ Boolean 
    
    readonly
    true if the requirement is for only an exact version. 
- 
    
      #none?  ⇒ Boolean 
    
    readonly
    true if this gem has no requirements. 
- 
    
      #prerelease?  ⇒ Boolean 
    
    readonly
    A requirement is a prerelease if any of the versions inside of it are prereleases. 
- 
    
      #specific?  ⇒ Boolean 
    
    readonly
    True if the requirement will not always match the latest version.

Constructor Details
    .new(*requirements)  ⇒ Requirement 
  
Constructs a requirement from #requirements. Requirements can be Strings, Gem::Versions, or Arrays of those. nil and duplicate requirements are ignored. An empty set of #requirements is the same as ">= 0".
# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 111
def initialize *requirements requirements = requirements.flatten requirements.compact! requirements.uniq! if requirements.empty? @requirements = [DefaultRequirement] else @requirements = requirements.map! { |r| self.class.parse r } end end
Class Method Details
.create(input)
Factory method to create a Requirement object.  Input may be a Version, a String, or nil.  Intended to simplify client code.
If the input is “weird”, the default version requirement is returned.
.default
A default “version requirement” can surely only be '>= 0'.
# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 69
def self.default new '>= 0' end
.parse(obj)
Parse obj, returning an [op, version] pair. obj can be a String or a Version.
If obj is a String, it can be either a full requirement specification, like ">= 1.2", or a simple version number, like "1.2".
parse("> 1.0")                 # => [">", "1.0"]
parse("1.0")                   # => ["=", "1.0"]
parse(Gem::Version.new("1.0")) # => ["=,  "1.0"]# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 85
def self.parse obj return ["=", obj] if Gem::Version === obj unless PATTERN =~ obj.to_s raise BadRequirementError, "Illformed requirement [#{obj.inspect}]" end if $1 == ">=" && $2 == "0" DefaultRequirement else [$1 || "=", Gem::Version.new($2)] end end

    #exact?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)

# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 164
def exact? return false unless @requirements.size == 1 @requirements[0][0] == "=" end
    #none?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)
  
true if this gem has no requirements.
# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 153
def none? if @requirements.size == 1 @requirements[0] == DefaultRequirement else false end end
    #prerelease?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)
  
A requirement is a prerelease if any of the versions inside of it are prereleases
# File 'lib/rubygems/requirement.rb', line 214
def prerelease? requirements.any? { |r| r.last.prerelease? } end
    #specific?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)
  
True if the requirement will not always match the latest version.

def specific? return true if @requirements.length > 1 # GIGO, > 1, > 2 is silly not %w[> >=].include? @requirements.first.first # grab the operator end

#concat(new)
